Western to refund students who were issued jaywalking tickets

Any Western student who was fined for jaywalking by the Wade King Recreation Center on Thursday, April 12 will be reimbursed by the university.

According to a Western Today article, although jaywalking was identified as a problem on campus by Western’s Central Health and Safety Committee, police chief Darin Rasmussen now believes officers may have been a bit too heavy-handed with ticketing.

“The goal of the enforcement action was never intended to be punitive, but to alert our campus community to the dangers of jaywalking,” Rasmussen said in an interview with Western Today.
